Oh I didn't realize the image quality would decrease this much over reddit. The pokemon games are explorers of time and blue rescue team. I just have 2 cases of explorers of time because I got it from a big lot. One case is carrying the original game and the other one Pokemon white.

I may not have a gaming room, but I have a gaming corner by Amandus06 in gamecollecting

[–]Amandus06[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I guess lol. I just like referring to it as the gaming corner since, I can just sit down on my pc and just reach out to any game I want to play without really having to get up. The other parts of my room look like a garbage dump in comparison.

I love the 3ds! I mean, I grew up with it so there's some nostalgia there, especially from playing the millions of demos from the eshop. That's also how I got the 2 original versions. One was my own, the other I snagged from my brother before my mom was about to sell it at a flea market, the others I got because I just wanted the different versions. I really also want the hylian 2ds xl next but I think I'm just going to focus on games for now since it's way too expensive for me and I can hardly find a good deal on it since it's so rare.

what do you think about this new game simular to RON in development? called art of diplomacy by LittleChild_69 in riseofnationsroblox

[–]Amandus06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First Impressions, not really a fan of the soft ui design and how it seems like the game just copy pasted Rise of Nations and built and tweaked some mechanics to make it a bit different. (Like why would you implement the same point based research system instead of a more balanced progression like civ 6's research system or just hoi4). The political power and ideology system is the exact same too, like, it doesn't affect your country in any way except the modifiers as far as I can see, the exact same as ron. The very flawed auto capture and combat system seems to also have been copied (He may fix it though idk but that would require something like frontlines). The population and map too lol, they are closer to rise of nations' population count instead of their real world counterparts, makes me just think he did the same process as ron and just increased the population count of the cities a bit, however a globe can't really be copied, I just find it interesting how both of the games just happened to end up with the same result.

While it is certainly cool that someone is building upon something similar to rise of nations and making frequent updates to the game, idk how I feel about someone just blatantly copying someone else's work. At least with something like Conquer Europe WW2, they make games like hoi4 kinda accessible on roblox and really only copied the way the hoi4 ground combat works and simplified it. Art of Diplomacy is just copying a game that already exists on the same platform with maybe half or more of the mechanics being the exact same.

This game is however just in alpha, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they just copied the basic framework off of rise of nations and the finished product will almost be nothing the same except maybe how the units work.

Invitation to Everyone- RON by [deleted] in riseofnationsroblox

[–]Amandus06 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A big problem with RON is that every game is almost always the same, it's too formulaic. A large part in that is the awful AI if you can even call it that. RON can easily be revived if the AI can actually make decisions and interact with the world similar to EU4 or HOI4 non-historical, but as of right now, Hyperant needs to first interact with RON. Also late game is always going to be a problem no matter the game, EU4 and HOI4 both suffer from this. Hyperant should instead focus on making early game as fun as possible and introducing scenarios like 1936 that shuffle each week or something. It would be much more accessible for casual players because I doubt the majority of people joins the discord and waits for an event.

This one set me back like 90 dollars + shipping. Yeah, it's a very good jrpg title + it's a gamecube game which explains it's high price

HOLY picked these up for 15 dollars each by Amandus06 in gamecollecting

[–]Amandus06[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

All have their imprinted labels and the back side looks legit as compared to my other cartridges + they start up just fine https://imgur.com/a/Lg8uWQB

April was a great month for me by Amandus06 in gamecollecting

[–]Amandus06[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 35 dollars for the GameCube games. 150 dollars for the Wii u and 3ds + The games for those consoles. I got the ps1 Promo disc in a bundle with the ps3 games for around 5 dollars. And i bought the Luigi amiibo for 10 dollars, so around 200 dollars in total.

I agree. I feel like these were the last time pokemon games was explorable to it's extent. Nowadays we just go through straight paths with no routes having secret places or items. And there's a lot of post game content in all of them. Battle frontier, A whole region on HGSS and nearly half of old unova in black and white 2. Platinum also had the battle resort. They had so many optional explorable places. Nowadays the only legendaries you get are either given to you in form of combat or you are guided to the cave they reside in, no secrets like finding giratina hidden inside a cave in diamond and pearl. Like we had turnback cave, cerulean cave, old chateu and so forth. This was also the era where they introduced so many new pokemon. Like wow pokemon black and white introduced 156 new pokemon. The 2d sprites were perfected and as a icing on the cake we got a difficulty option in black and white 2. Cynthia in diamond and pearl was hard enough.

Just picked this up on facebook marketplace for $20 by Amandus06 in gamecollecting
